Hi Eric,

Thanks so much for the update!

Good luck with your app.

Paul.

My profile displays in a different format than my logs do yes - reading 16:05:53.051 PST vs 4:05:53 PM PST, it's not a huge thing but would be nice as preference in profile settings (or cycling format on the log view timestamp itself)

one workaround im thinking of doing is having a "fake" user stat. one that tracks the actually XP and another that's "unlocked XP". then just increase the unlocked XP whenever someone "claims" the milestone

Update - we discussed it and we think you are good to go.

A test of 1000 stats revealed that the resulting statistics object (that contains all values) was only about 64KB - which is smaller than I had feared. So it looks like 2000-2500 stats will come in less than 200KB.

Note - that IS 200KB more data that will be returned during an Authenticate call - and during readUserState() - but it should work okay.

I assume you'll be creating these stats dynamically. That is controlled via the setting on this page (you've probably already discovered it).

One warning is that stats are case sensitive - so we'd definitely recommend that you standardize the creation/accessing of the stats - maybe do an uppercase() or lowercase() cast before creating / accessing them.

I hope that helps. Good luck!

Paul.

Great. This perfectly answers my question. Thank you!

Hi Paul,

Yes this answers my question. I guess since the percentage is based on the number of players, I could query the number by checking how many entries there are in a given division leaderboard?

In any case I'll stick to absolute ranks for now as you suggest. I was looking into percentages to future-proof our client API.

Thank you for the quick help!

thank you

Update: this has now been fixed!

Note - brainCloud will now send over the first part of your email address as the suggested username for the forums. The forums will automatically append a number if there are others with that username.

You can update/customize your username by clicking on your profile in the top-right, and choose Edit Profile.
There you will find a bunch of info you can customize about your user account.

Click Change Username on that screen to change your username itself.

Hope that helps!

Paul.

@panagiotis-milios Thank you for your response, appreciate your time !
I solved the issue :
The url I was using was wrong, more precisely I was using the wrong servlet :
I was using

/dispatcherv2

while I was supposed to use

/s2sdispatcher.

I also want to point out that you are right about the "appId" below the "packetId", it is not needed.
Thank you, I hope this thread will help anyone encountering this problem !

@paul-winterhalder
if detect refund than ban automatically with few condition matched(Size or number of refunds)
Nxx Gamebxxx has this function

@Paul-Winterhalder Yes please, there are other gaming backends which only works with Open Id . I already shared one requirement with Jason. Implementing this will not just solve my edge case but open opportunities for lots of other backends to work well with BrainCloud

@JasonL Thanks, I ended up with this cloudCode:

isForceCreate = String(data.callingMessage.forceCreate) == "true"; isNewUser = String(data.message.newUser) == "true"; var response = {}; response.status = 200; response.data = data.message; if (isForceCreate && isNewUser) { var min = 10000000, max = 999999999 prefix = ["player", "user", "member"] const num = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min; const pre = prefix[Math.floor(Math.random() * prefix.length)]; var defaultPlayerName = pre + String(num); var playerStateProxy = bridge.getPlayerStateServiceProxy(); // We are changing the player name on the server. playerStateProxy.updatePlayerName(defaultPlayerName); // And in this API Call's return data. response.data.playerName = pre + String(num); } response; //return the object

This works just the way I need

Delete call update and everything is working now. Thanks!

Thank you! I will try that out.

Just for anyone else's future reference, I realized you can "log in" as another user using GetSessionForProfile(). So if the other user is offline, you will be able to modify their data (for example, to increment an attribute for number of matches they have).

I believe this way, you can also do what JasonL said and TurnShieldOn() for the other user, stopping them from being able to match anymore.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Update:

Authentication seems to be going well. I can automatically sign user in using ANON, and attach an email and pass. I can also log a user in using existing email and pass and getAnonID and store it and proceed to use that AnonID to use AnonID on startup for silent authentication. However, if user selects anon account but then the user decides to log into an existing email and pass account, how would I go about deleting the new ANON account the user decides to "throw" away?

Hi Reza, a simple workaround I would recommend is using our atomic methods, such as IncrementGlobalStats, to form the field values with the returned value of that method and some other characters you selected. (defined a global statistic ahead of time, call IncrementGlobalStats() get the returned current value of the global statistic, e.g. 123, then combine with the name you selected to a unique name, such as name_123)

@David-St-Louis-0
On my last question, can you restrict API calls to only be from a specific web domain or mobile app is? Google Api's allowed to restrict calls to firebase to be specifically from an web domain, or the specific app ID's.
Another way to ask it, is there any way to restrict API calls to from a specific location?
Thanks again,
-Chad

Hi Chad,

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, brainCloud can handle RPG style games well, it provides a rich set of features that benefits any type of game - includes very flexible multiplayer tech, Our built-in real-time multiplayer services are more based around the idea of shared game experiences that last a finite period of time (i.e. arena shooters, casual multiplayer, etc.). Our matchmaking, lobby services, room server system, etc are all geared toward making this sort of experience easy and inexpensive to build - but also can integrate with 3rd party or custom tech. brainCloud provides support for custom Room Servers that can support any type of custom or 3rd party multiplayer tech. For all these characters related data (user data), you can use User Entity or Custom Entity to store and trace them. The end-user profileId and anonymousId are stored securely in the client library wrapper on user devices. Users' IAP items and currency end up “unlocking” “awarding” these to the associated profileId, so that will never be lost. If a player is offline, you need to have some code on your side to handle this situation with the request callbacks, as long as “update()” is not called, it will not process sending packet bundles or process callbacks from the received packets. Shouldn't keep all calls for later. Instead, update player stats once connected, in 1 call.

Hope that helps!

@JasonL
I can confirm they are working despite a warning, in strict mode.
Thanks!

Amazing, especially Amazon In-Apps support
